Thanks to your contribution, I've been able to participate in mentoring and collaboration that have already transformed how I plan, teach, and reflect.\r\n\r\nThrough this process, I've completed my first of three Component 2 lessons and begun work on Components 3 and 4. Each step has pushed me to analyze how my students learn best, differentiate more intentionally for multilingual learners and students with IEPs, and design lessons that connect historical thinking to civic engagement. The coaching I've received through The Support Network has been invaluable. It is helping me see my teaching through new lenses and bringing a deeper sense of purpose and reflection to my classroom practice.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments so far has been watching my AP U.S. History students engage in a document-based discussion where they built on each other's insights instead of waiting for my guidance. It was a small but powerful shift and gives evidence that the reflective strategies I'm developing through National Board work are helping students take more ownership of their learning and voices.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, I'm excited to continue refining my Component 3 video lessons, which focus on student engagement and participation. I'm especially eager to strengthen my practice in making learning accessible and meaningful for all students because when every learner feels seen, they learn more deeply.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing not just in my growth as an educator, but in the students whose confidence and curiosity you're helping to nurture every day.","fullyFundedDate":1751310566173,"projectUrl":"project/help-me-become-a-national-board-certifie/9381866/","projectTitle":"Help Me Become a National Board Certified Teacher!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. DiVincenzo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp6238532_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1549042804288","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mustangsliteracy"},{"teacherId":200222,"projectId":9229907,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support in funding a classroom set of the novel, Warrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline Boulley.

These three guitars pictured were purchased during Covid for the students to use. There was a year where we couldn't meet inside, and students took these guitars outside to practice during lunchtime. Now, we have them in different classrooms so that students can have access to guitars around campus. This project funded some mid-level maintenance that all guitars need a few times in their lives. Amateur players like myself and most of the students can and should change strings, clean the guitars, and do basic maintenance, but we should all take our guitars in to a luthier once in a while and have them set up properly as well.

It was also interesting to see how the 2006 edition introduction written nearly 20 years after the original compared to current times, nearly another 20 years later.
